Anselmo Monologue from The Blunderer

From The Blunderer by Molière

male · anguished · 44 sec

Alas! you must be dead; I myself just now saw you. (PAND: What? Could I die without knowing it?) As soon as Mascarille told me the news, I was ready to die of grief. (PAND: But, really, are you asleep or awake? Don't you know me?) You are clothed in an aerial body which imitates your own, but which may take another shape at any moment. I am mightily afraid to see you swell up to the size of a giant, and your countenance become frightfully distorted. For the love of God, do not assume any hideous form; you have scared me sufficiently for the nonce.
